[With no congressional oversight or approval, Fearless Leader (and Israeli blackmail victim over child sex crimes)] President Don our John Trump said the U.S. will run Venezuela [and drain it of oil] until a "proper transition can take place," as he defended Saturday morning's military strikes and swarm team reportedly using 150 aircraft to cover as special ops kill or kidnap capture or abduct President Nicolás Maduro and his wife.

"We're there now, but we're going to stay until such time as the proper transition can take place," Trump told reporters from Mar a Lago. "So we're going to stay until such time as we're going to run it, essentially, until such time as a proper transition can take place."

I'll run this hemisphere and PM Bibi that one!
Trump's remarks cap a dramatic few hours that began with reports of explosions in the Venezuelan capital, Caracas, the scale of which became apparent only when the president said Maduro and his wife had been captured.

Trump later told right win Fox & Friends that Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, were being brought by boat to New York where they [are to stand trial directed by Trump henchperson Pam Bondi]. More: Trump says US will ‘run' Venezuela until a safe transition is possible

Saintly Himalayan Yogi's Eightfold Path

The Dhammapada: mind - Ajahn Brahm: God vs. Bodhi

An 85-year-old Himalayan yogi, rumored to leave no trace in the snow, says true happiness comes from...

  • What is the "Yoga" (system, tapas, austerity, program) he follows? It is surely Integral Yoga also generally known as Ashtanga or "Eight Limbs." He does not merely do poses or keep a vegetarian diet. He goes much further to include all aspects of the path:
The definition of "yoga"
The Sage Pātañjali (author of the Yoga Sutras or "Yoga Aphorisms") begins his treatise on yoga (1st–3rd century CE) by stating the purpose of writing his book in the first sutra, followed by defining the word "yoga" in his second sutra of Book 1:[2].

योगश्चित्तवृत्तिनिरोधः ॥२॥
yogaś-citta-vṛtti-nirodhaḥ
— Yoga Sutras 1.2

This terse definition hinges on the meaning of three Sanskrit terms:

I. K. Taimni translates it as, "Yoga is the inhibition (nirodhaḥ [usually translated as "cessation"]) of the modifications (vṛtti) of the mind (citta)" [3].

Swami Vivekananda translates this aphorism as, "Yoga is restraining (nirodhah) the mind-stuff (citta) from taking various forms (vrittis)" [4].

When the mind is stilled, the seer or real Self is revealed: 1.3. Then the Seer is established in his [or her] own essential and fundamental nature. 1.4.

In other states there is assimilation (of the Seer) with the modifications (of the mind) [5].

Sadhguru's no guru but tell jokes to Westerners

Eight limbs

Pātañjali set out his definition of "yoga" in the Yoga Sūtras as having eight limbs [following the popularity of the historical Buddha's Dharma being condensed into a Noble Eightfold Path] (अष्टाङ्ग, āṅga, "eight limbs") as follows. These are the Eight Limbs of Yoga:
  1. yama (abstinences),
  2. niyama (observances),
  3. āsana (postures),
  4. prāṇā-yāma (breath control),
  5. pratyāhāra (withdrawal of the senses),
  6. dhāraṇā (concentration),
  7. dhyāna (meditation), and
  8. samādhi (absorption)" [6].
The eightfold path of Pātañjali's yoga consists of a set of prescriptions for a morally disciplined and purposeful life, of which the āsana (yoga postures) form only one limb [7]. More

Buddhism has a different set of Eight Limbs to Enlightenment


What is the path to supreme liberation?
As in Buddhism's Noble Eightfold Path, all of these terms are loaded. They are full of meaning, leaving many aspects to each term or heading. They are not the same path and do NOT lead to the same goal. The goal of yoga is "union," whereas the goal of the Buddha-Dharma is enlightenment and nirvana.
  1. Right View: various summaries of "right view" can be found in Buddhist texts. A stock phrase is the opening of the dhamma-eye, in which knowledge arises: "All that has the nature of arising has the nature of ending" [33, Note 2]; showing the futility of striving after worldly fulfillment. More extensive treatments state that our karma (actions) have consequences, death is not the end, and our words, actions, and beliefs have consequences after death. The Buddha himself followed and taught a successful path out of this world and the other world (heaven and underworld/hells),[36, 37, 38, Web 2] and his example can be followed to the same successful result. Later on, right view came to explicitly include karma and rebirth and the importance of the Four Noble Truths, when "insight" (vipassana) became central to Buddhist soteriology, especially in Theravada Buddhism [39, 40].
  2. Right Intention (samyaka-saṃkalpa/sammā-saṅkappa) can also be known as "right thought," "right aspiration," "right resolve," or "right motivation" [41]. In this factor, one aspires to let go, renounce (stop clinging to) the worldly life and follow the Buddhist path [42] of purification and freedom. The practitioner is full of thoughts of and intends to strive toward non-violence (ahimsa) and avoid violent and hateful/aversive conduct [40].
  3. Right Speech: avoiding lying, abuse, division, and idle chatter [43, 44].
  4. Right Conduct: to avoid killing or injuring, taking what is not given, sexual misconduct, intoxication.
  5. Right Livelihood: avoiding trading in weapons, living beings, meat, intoxicants/poisons.
  6. Right Effort: preventing the arising of unwholesome mental states that not arisen, deposing ones that have, generating wholesome states, and maintaining them to their consummation. What are the profitable mental states? The Seven Factors of Enlightenment (bojjhaṅgā). This includes "guarding the sense-doors" (indriya-samvara), restraint of the sense faculties [45, 46].
  7. Right Mindfulness (sati; satipatthana; sampajañña): a quality that guards the heart/mind as it dispassionately watches over [47] and looks on. The stronger mindfulness becomes, the weaker unwholesome states of mind become, weakening their power "to take over and dominate thought, word, and deed" [48, Note 3]. In the insight meditation (vipassana) movement, mindfulness is interpreted as dispassionate "bare attention," watching, vigilance, remaining present and aware with whatever arises in this moment: not being absent minded, but rather being conscientious and conscious of what one is doing; this encourages the awareness of the impermanence of body, feelings, and mind, as well as to dispassionately examine the Five Aggregates clung to as self (skandhas), the Five Hindrances, the Four Noble Truths, and the Seven Factors of Enlightenment [46].
  8. Right Samadhi (passaddhi; ekaggata; sampasadana): practicing the Four Stages of Jhana (Sanskrit dhyāna or "meditation"), which includes samadhi/absorption proper in the second stage and reinforces the development of the Seven Factors of Enlightenment, culminating in equanimity (upekkhā) and mindfulness (sati) [50]. In the Theravada tradition and the insight meditation movement, this is interpreted as singlepointedness of mind (ekaggata), stillness, focus, concentration, one-pointedness of the mind, fulfilled through the Four Foundations of Mindfulness as vipassana meditation, which aims at liberating insight from all illusion.

Dalai Lama, how do we find our dharma?

  • dharma is a multivalent term with at least a dozen distinct meanings. In India, dharma usually means "social duty or obligation," and Dharma (capitalized) customarily refers to the Buddha's Dharma or Doctrine, the Teachings of the historical figure Siddhartha Gautama. The word can loosely be construed to mean "religion," but religion did not mean religion in pre-British invasion India (Maha Bharat), so equating the terms is incorrect.

Reptilian Dragon King Temple: Neak Pean

.
An artificial reservoir constructed by Nagas?
(PraveenMohan) NOT BUILT FOR (OR BY) HUMANS: Impossible Buddhist-Hindu temple found in Cambodia [seems to have been constructed by and for nagas, "reptilian humanoids," "lizard people," extraterrestrial dragons, serpents, snakes hybridized with humans. It is called Neak Pean or "Entwined Nagas."

The Herbal Island (Garden) Hospital
We came from Draco and run this planet from below. Don't believe it? Just ask David Icke.
.
Garden hospital marked by caduceus?
Neak Pean (or Neak Poan) [2] (Khmer ប្រាសាទនាគព័ន្ធ, "the Entwined Serpents") at Angkor, Cambodia, is an artificial island (ancient hospital and plant pharmacy) and reservoir.

It is a Mahayana Buddhist temple on a circular island in Jayatataka Baray, which was associated with Preah Khan Temple, said to have been built during the reign of King Jayavarman VII [3]: 389. It is the "Mebon" of the Preah Khan baray (the "Jayatataka" of the inscription) [4].
Etymology
Caduceus: two entwined (winged) serpents are the Western symbol of "medicine"
.
The Garden had a medicinal pond for plants?
Some historians believe that Neak Pean represents Anavatapta [5]: 174 , a mythical lake in the Himalayas whose waters are thought to cure all illnesses [6]: 124–125 [7].

The name is derived from the sculptures of snakes (nāgas, reptilians, dragons, serpents) running around the base of the temple structure, neak being the Khmer translation of the Sanskrit word naga.

"They are Nanda and Upa-Nanda, two nagas traditionally associated with Lake Anavatapta" [8]. More

Ireland's prehistoric site, Europe's largest?


We've more and older archeology than England?
It seems that ancient Irish tales of "hollow hills" (underground caverns in mountains, as in Grieg's "In the Hall of the Mountain King" where ogres and supernatural beings dwell) are true. There are hillforts throughout the Emerald Isle. And the largest ever found in Northern Europe has just been uncovered, and it's massive.

Ireland discovery: the largest site ever
What, our pre-Christian roots go way back?
A vast prehistoric settlement hidden in the hills of County Wicklow is forcing archaeologists to rethink how people lived in Ireland more than 2,700 years ago.

What began as a closer look at a single hillfort has revealed a sprawling complex of ramparts, houses, and enclosures that specialists now say may be the largest clustered village ever identified in Ireland and Britain.

The scale of the discovery, and the suggestion that it could be the biggest prehistoric site of its kind in Northern Europe, is already reshaping debates about when urban-style living first emerged on the Atlantic edge of the continent.

We Irish Paddies stand with Palestinians!

The Wicklow hill that turned into a mega‑site
Baltinglass hillfort archeological site (monumentalireland.ie)

The story starts with a familiar landmark in the Irish landscape, a hillfort in Baltinglass that locals have long known as a dramatic feature above the County Wicklow countryside.

Archaeologists had catalogued it as one of several prominent fortified sites in the region, but new survey work has shown that the hilltop is only the core of a much larger complex.

What once looked like a single enclosure now appears to sit within a dense cluster of prehistoric houses and additional earthworks that extend across the slopes and surrounding ridges. More

New Year's message: Time and Karma


The Time Paradox: The New Psychology of Time That Will Change Your Life
The social psychology of time?
Author Stanford University Social Psychologist Dr. Philip Zimbardo and Dr. John Boyd have 4.4 out of 5 stars (with 326 reviews).

Our every significant choice -- every important decision we make -- is determined by a force operating deep inside our mind: our perspective on time -- our internal, personal time zone.

This is the most influential force in our life, yet we are virtually unaware of it. Once we become aware of our personal time zone, we can begin to see and manage our life in exciting new ways.

Be Here Now (Dr. Ram Dass, Ph.D.)
In The Time Paradox, Dr. Zimbardo and Dr. Boyd draw on 30 years of pioneering research to reveal, for the first time, how our individual time perspective shapes our life and is shaped by the world around us.

Further, they demonstrate that our and every other individual's time zones interact to create national cultures, economics, and personal destinies.

No matter our time perspective, we experience these paradoxes. Only by understanding this new psychological science of time zones will we be able to overcome the mental biases that keep us too attached to the past, too focused on immediate gratification, or unhealthily obsessed with future goals.

Time passes no matter what we do; it's up to us to spend it wisely and enjoy it well. More

Christians: These other religions are false


Why Christians say these 10 religions are false

Is this fool's gold? It looks so shiny and pure.
For millions of faithful followers calling themselves "true Christians," truth isn’t a spectrum but a line drawn by scripture, and these ten belief systems cross it in ways they say matter eternally. [Should other religions be banned when Trump is installed as True Leader before Christmas 2026?]

Religion is often a hot topic at dinner tables across the country, especially when beliefs clash over who holds the ultimate truth about life and the afterlife.

Hey, you Goddamned sinners, send me $$!
For many Christians, their Bible serves as the final rulebook, the final truth, and any belief or faith that deviates in the slightest from [their translation and interpretation of] its core teachings is frequently viewed as missing the mark ("sinful").

This perspective stems from a deep belief and conviction that spiritual truth is not subjective but a narrow path defined by specific scriptures, some of which are apocryphal or not really found written anywhere, like the details of the "Rapture" to come.

While modern human society often encourages a flexible approach to spirituality, orthodox Christianity draws hard lines in stone regarding the nature of God and what counts as "salvation." Everyone else is wrong.

This often leads to strong disagreements over the validity of other faith systems (and often bigger fights within a single system, sect, or Christian denomination, some of which have no right to even call themselves "Christian"), from ancient traditions to newer spiritual movements.

Here is a look at ten belief systems that Christians often reject, along with the theological reasons they push back against them....
  1. Mormons and Latter-Day Saints
  2. Islam and the Prophet Mohammed [PBUH]
  3. Jehovah's Witnesses and the Watchtower
  4. Scientology and Thetans [but genocidal Ziontology is okay]
  5. Hinduism and the many gods [here's looking at you, Usha]
  6. Buddhism and the Path to Nirvana
  7. Wicca and Modern Paganism
  8. New Age Spirituality
  9. Unitarian Universalism
  10. Atheism and Secular Humanism.

Coming in at Number 6, Buddhism and the Path to Nirvana: While Christians often respect the ethical discipline of Buddhism, they reject its central non-theistic stance (which many take as atheistic).

Buddhism does not acknowledge an ultimate Creator God (like Maha Brahma, the "Great Supremo" who imagines himself the Creator of all things), which is the very foundation of the Christian worldview
  • [with their Demiurge Yaldabaoth the vengeful Judge Yahweh/Jehovah of the Old Testament, even if Jesus spoke out against this impostor in the name of the True God of Light that stands behind everything, a kind of Brahman figure behind the illusion of Maya, if one only took Gnostic texts into consideration as was the case before the official Church banned and burned any such gospels and teachings by Jesus].
The Buddha taught the Path to Nirvana
The ultimate goal of Nirvana (the "Deathless," "freedom from all suffering and further rebirth"), which is the cessation of craving and cycling and wandering through the illusory and miserable Wheel of Life and Death (Samsara), is viewed as a hopeless end compared to the Christian promise of eternal life.

Christians also disagree with the idea that suffering is something to escape solely through human effort and mental cleansing. They believe that suffering has purpose and that God is present with believers through their torments, trials, and tribulations. [Smile, the Christian God wants you to suffer.]

A study by Arizona Christian University found that only 4% of American adults hold a biblical worldview, which might help to explain why Eastern philosophies (such as Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, Jainism, Sikhism, and Sufism to some extent) are gaining traction over traditional church teachings.
  • [Adding an "-ism" to any word or doctrine is a good way to discredit it right off the bat, at least in the imperial Christ-ism/ propaganda we are fed in the West.]
